What the nine insights mean

Open this panel for a plain-language explanation of each market signal.

˅
Price Spike

Median prices have risen unusually fast over the latest rolling 12-month period, which may indicate intense local demand or constrained supply.

Price Collapse

Median prices have fallen sharply over the latest rolling 12-month period, which can point to weakening demand, repricing, or distressed local conditions.

Demand Collapse

Transaction volumes have dropped hard compared with the prior year, suggesting buyers have pulled back or activity has stalled.

Liquidity Stress

Transaction volumes have fallen sharply while prices continue rising, suggesting weakening market liquidity.

Liquidity Surge

Transaction volumes have risen strongly compared with the prior year, showing a sudden increase in market activity.

Market Freeze

Transaction volumes have fallen so far that the market may be freezing up, with far fewer homes successfully completing sales.

Sector Outperformance

This postcode sector is outperforming the wider national market, with stronger local price growth than the UK benchmark.

Momentum Reversal

Earlier strong price growth has turned into decline, which can signal that local market momentum is rolling over.

Unexpected Hotspot

This postcode sector is rising much faster than the national average, suggesting unusually strong local demand or catch-up growth.
